Transitive irreducible Lie superalgebras of vector fields

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{d}$ be the Lie superalgebra of superderivations of the sheaf of sections of the exterior algebra of the homogeneous vector bundle $E$ over the flag variety $G/P$, where $G$ is a simple finite-dimensional complex Lie group and $P$ its parabolic subgroup. Then, $\mathfrak{d}$ is transitive and irreducible whenever $E$ is defined by an irreducible $P$-module $V$ such that the highest weight of $V^{\ast }$ is dominant. Moreover, $\mathfrak{d}$ is simple; it is isomorphic to the Lie superalgebra of vector fields on the superpoint, i.e., on a $0|n$-dimensional supervariety.
